The Peace Book and more...

Today we read tThe Peace Book by Todd Parr.
We talked about what peace means, and then each child drew a picture and wrote words to the prompt, "Peace is..."  Tomorrow we will assemble our own Peace Book!   As the core of the kindergarten curriculum is being kind and helpful members of our classroom and school community, peace is an important concept indeed!  We are having fun getting to know what your children know about letters and sounds and reading and writing.  Remember that there is a huge range of "normal" when it comes to skills at this stage of development.

We have also been exploring shapes.  We were engaged in a discussion about how to tell the difference between a square, a rectangle, and a trapezoid - even though they all have four sides!
We found various shapes around our classroom and we made designs with pattern blocks.
